Damn I thought this was gonna be a bunch of weird nerds playing this game but you guys look TOIIIIGHT I'd let any of you put your finger in my muggle or whatever I didn't read these books and it's only now that I'm typing this comment with my big ol broomstick that I regret it. Harry Potter is about an old gay dude who takes a scarred orphan under his wing or something right? Or am I thinking about Milo Yiannopoulos’ origin story? The only difference I see is that Milo’s scars are all on the inside where his emotions used to be. Anyway thank you fellow athletes for this wonderful video and I bet you can’t catch this snootch: (_)_):::::::::::::::::::::::D~~~~~~THREE POINTS!!!~~~~~
As a British quidditch player, quidditch is definitely the most fun sport I have ever played! It has certainly moved on in recent years, snitches are now required to stay on pitch, it is refined to a point that it could one day be taken as a professional sport.
Im the captain of the Southampton Quidditch Club but there are literally clubs all across the country, including oxford, bristol, london, keele, durham, warwick, where are you from?
***** I think the ultimate problem is that is will be associated with kids books... I reckon an adaptation to a serious sport without the snitch and including a time limit would be cool but at the same time it would then not be quidditch and people who play/watch it becauae they like Harry Potter would then not watch/play it...
Wouldn't basketball be better if you didn't have to dribble? Wouldn't soccer be better if all players could use their hands and feet? Yes but its a restriction that adds another element to the game, removing the brooms would take away an important part of the game. You get hit by a bludger you have to drop any ball you are holding, dismount and go back to your goalposts. No brooms makes the Beater role a bit more confusing and in general makes the game not Quidditch. Makes you a better athlete too(you try passing and throwing a ball accurately one handed most of the game) You get used to them haha.
Khalil Sulker No because all of the games you mentioned would become boring and broken without those mechanics. If you saw the video you would know that Beaters send players back to their hoops and has nothing to do with brooms... I meant more like people will look at the brooms and go 'that looks dumb' not bother, thereby not making a sport viable. That's what I meant
Not even close to the same thing Khalil, those brooms are an injury waiting to happen. It worked in the books because the brooms could fly, here they're just a hindrance for everyone involved. Did I mention the potential for injuries?
They could put a comfy seat on it. If female scientists were developing one I'm sure they would have the sense to do that because comfort is important for all irrespective of gender :)
Erm.... I feel from your post that you're perhaps a bit fixated on men, goolies and poking said goolies with a stick. My original post made no reference to willies so I'm not sure why you responded in the way that you did. Secondly, you have also come across as being a bit of a misogynist by inferring that only men work in the field of science. Last of all, I imagine that developing a flying broom would be more of a job for an engineer as opposed to a scientist....or, erm, a wizard (or witch of course :)) Now stop going on about men and their fecking goolies. All I said was that I want a flying broomstick.
Well, the snitch thing is cute. I was wondering how they pulled that off. They should use a tiny helicopter or drone instead though. Something that hovers around the field, at least sometimes below 8 ft or something, and the seekers have to watch for it and catch it. That, I think, would be more accurate.
***** that's the whole point, you're not supposed to be able to see it at all times, that is why a seeker position was so valued. You have to have eagle eyes
You should take the fastest running athlete in school and dress him up in an oversized Snitch suit. Have him run around the pitch running away from the seekers. Have your Seekers be the slowest person on the team to make it fun to watch and nearly impossible to actually catch the Snitch (like it should be), even though the guy is wearing a fucking oversized suit haha. Makes for some interesting and hilarious gameplay.
***** so far they hold 'World Cup' in the US. Its made up of college or community teams, and they invite other countries to attend (Canada almost always attends).
K, so let's chalk up the sports that are actually in this: Soccer: RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING!!! Basketball: Unlike soccer where your goal is the size of a 2 car garage door, we have 3 hoops about the size of a sink each. And they're technically floating... So yeah. Rugby: Oi! Looks like you're holding a Quaffle there. *Shove*Snatch* Nevermind. Sorry 'bout the broken nose, btw. Dodgeball: I had a really bad day today, so I advise you wear a cup. Advanced Tag: HEY! WATCH OUT! LOOK! LISTEN! HELLO?! HEY! LOOK! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! WATCH OUT! HELLO?! Mix this all together and you've got Quidditch. Sound hard? Yeah? Well, guess what. You do all of this... One handed... Good luck. }:3
At first, I thought this was a little ridiculous, but after watching a few videos, this actually looks really fun. It's kind of a brutal sport, and the human snitch is way too awesome.
+raggedy-smith My thoughts exactly! Not necessarily one of those big ol' lawnmower sized ones, but one of those Wal-Mart, kids-safe mini-choppers with some decent speed and maneuverability that can carry a yellow Golfball with little plastic wings. Then there's someone who controls it that has a few rules himself. (like don't raise it 20' in the air, no one will ever get it) I love the Drone idea.
It looks great imo, and I'm not a big HP fan. It is rough, physical, is played one-handed, has some unusual rules, and looks fun to play ! Sure, it's not a long-established sport like football, tennis or rugby, but it has potential. I wonder what are the real limits to what a Snitch can do to get away from the Seekers though… Too bad they're not able to fly (yet?)
FYI: US Quidditch Cup is today and tomorrow (April 14 & 15, 2018). Some folks are doing live streams, such as: US Quidditch: ua-cam.com/video/IUke1NmSBmc/v-deo.html The Eighth Man: facebook.com/TheEighthMan/videos/ Hoops Hops & Heels: facebook.com/pg/Hoops.Hops.Heels/videos/
I have to say, this 7 minute guide was quite a bit better than the supposed Quidditch documentary, "Mudbloods". Went to see that the other night and actually left halfway through it was so boring! At least the people interviewed in this seemed realistic and enthusiastic. I suppose I was just annoyed by the people in the movie versus the production value. It's also quite disappointing the number of folks who disparage a video like this; yes, the sport is quite goofy looking, but unless you've tried it yourself maybe you shouldn't be so harsh. I'm also curious as to why some people think words like "Gay" or "Nerdy" or "Dorky" are derogatory.
At first it looked ridiculous, but when you learn the rules, it actually could be interesting to watch or play this game. It has a lot of different mechanics, that could have interesting combinations when put together. What I also enjoy since the game is still developing, there is huge a room for exploring and trying different tactics. You won't have this in any big sport, where everything is already explored and calculated.
is there anyway to have it so we can play a game of it but with hardly any risk as i want my friends at mencap to experience the fun of it but health and safety makes it so we have to change rules of games
Michael Nielsen Players are required to be mounted on their brooms at all times. If the player dismounts while in play, the player must run back to their hoops, touch them, and re-mount his or her broom before re-entering play. (See p.77 of Rulebook 9 (www.usquidditch.org/about/rules/).) Having to be mounted on a broom is like having to dribble in basketball, or not being able to use your hands in soccer. It adds a bit of difficulty.
I wanna start my own team called The Wellington Wheelers. Wellington being the town I'm from and Wheelers being a reference to the fact that I'm in a wheel chair. The only issues being I don't know of anyone who'd be willing to join my team, I'd need money for equipment and jerseys and finally I have no clue who we'd play against.
With the brooms its a sport. People get injured, there's strategy, it takes some level of athleticism to be a good player, like this game is so fast paced, it is hard as fuck to throw a ball in a hoop when you have to deal with your broom between your legs(so often scoring and passing the ball one handed), while avoiding bludgers(the dodgeballs players get pelted with) and getting past the other teams' Keeper. Very difficult, very fun.
They should have to hold another tennis ball instead- so if they drop it the goal doesn’t count and you have the skill of having to do things one handed remain.
Kristian Valen when the snitch arrives on pitch, it indeed becomes a 'clusterfuck'. Chasers don't have to worry, but beaters and seekers do (I'm a beater for my college team)
Most of the comments were long ago. But I'm also against the use of those FAKE broomsticks. Let's see it this way: 1) In magical Quidditch, the broomsticks are vehicles, and the players move really fast. In muggle quidditch it's, meh, you know. What about changing those sticks for bicycles, or skates?. I think roller skates would be better, in order to pick up the quaffle and the bludgers. If skates or bikes are hard or dangerous, what about scooters?. It's the most similar thing to a flying broomstick that I can think about, and the player could asily pick the balls from the ground. 2) Like in Magical Quidditch, the playes should master their vehicles. I know this would be less inclusive, but it would demand more commitment with the activity too. 3) Magical quidditch has things muggles can't do. But muggle quidditch would have something wizards can't understand too. Remember these muggle inventios are hard to understand for them. 4) A bunch of people running with sticks between their legs is very far from secure, BTW. OK, and finally my other two cents for what I consider the worst part of muggle quiddith: The Snitch. This is absolutly a bad joke. But what if you change the runnig guy for... A mini drone?. They are very safe these days. I'm sure this way, what is now the worst part of this activity would turn the best one. And that's another thing wizards can't do, flying drones.
some official games make the PVC pipe 'brooms' nessacary cause the normal brooms cause injuries, which doesn't make sense to me since its full contact, but i do love to play
Michael Nielsen well the snitch is only worth 30 points in this version so the goal is to catch it when your team is ahead, just catching it won't win you the game
I'm sure that someone out there can build a smallish spherical flying object, remote controlled...so why not do that and replace the current concept of the snitch?
Bludgers knock people off--There are 2 Bludgers . If You Score with a Quaffle, you get 10 points each shot. If You Get the Golden Snitch, you earn 150 extra points, and the game ends, in which there is no time limit.
***** chose540 The problem is most refs in Quidditch are child molesters, so refs won't snitch for fear that snitching on the snitch will make the snitch snitch.
It's because in the books they play on brooms. Having the broom makes the game a bit more challenging as you only have one hand available. BTW, I need to start a team.
I like to think it's because at some point in the near future they will be using flying or hoover vehicles. The stick just helps them prepare for the eventuality ;P
hehe I've done my own version of quidditch without broomsticks and it feelt like it worked much better. At least if you think about safety. It was a great succes at the school I've worked on But yeah would be cool with flying/hover vehicles. But I guess it wouldn't be allowed cause of safety reasons. "Aresto momentum", isn't exacly something u can do in real life to falling players.
I don't like how you can score from either side of the hoop. Pretty sure Wizard Quidditch is not like that. If you want to get it as close as you can to the actual game, then this should be one thing that ought to be.
I can understand that reasoning. However would that really be such a big deal that it is necessary to add an extra ball that isn't technically supposed to be there? Did the game originally have only two bludgers which caused the problem of monolization so it was decided that a third one should be added or have there always been three?
In the earliest days of muggle quidditch, they had 2 bludgers. They quickly realized that they needed three. Also, a snitch snatch was originally 50 points (as opposed to 150 in the books). It was reduced to 30 points early on, and has stayed at 30 ever since. Some things you only find out after actually playing the game.
Damn I thought this was gonna be a bunch of weird nerds playing this game but you guys look TOIIIIGHT I'd let any of you put your finger in my muggle or whatever I didn't read these books and it's only now that I'm typing this comment with my big ol broomstick that I regret it. Harry Potter is about an old gay dude who takes a scarred orphan under his wing or something right? Or am I thinking about Milo Yiannopoulos’ origin story? The only difference I see is that Milo’s scars are all on the inside where his emotions used to be.

Bounced on my bois broomstick to this
Does anyone else think this would be an amazing sport that would be viable to become professional if it wasn't for the broomsticks?
***** I think the ultimate problem is that is will be associated with kids books...

Mr Weasley would approve
This is SO WEIRD! But I want to start a Quidditch team so bad...

I'm not a muggle but this still helps
MammaCIS u are a muggle.if realy not what hogwart house are u in
the snitch should hire the school marching band to march through the field with him or her in the middle
Lol
'If your school doesn't have a quid ditch team it's fairly easy to start one' I'M ON IT
+Spongy Muffin ikr XD
Yeeeah I'm on it to :D The only struggle is to find a place where we can play it where we don't have to pay anything..
well if your school has a football or soccer team, play Quidditch on their field.
Thx for the tip! really wanna play quidditch! Me and my other HP friends made a game called quidditch catch? Similar-ish i guess...
Im doing this! GO QUIDDITCH!!
I just love the way they work around the snitch and budger :D
would not be surprised to see this in the Olympics soon
They tried for the London Olympics but not enough countries were involved at that point, but I'm sure they'll try again...
***** so far they hold 'World Cup' in the US. Its made up of college or community teams, and they invite other countries to attend (Canada almost always attends).
Played Muggle Quidditch for the first time yesterday and I’m in love! I played as a keeper and had a great time
I think it's safe to assume that those boards are the only thing they'll be fingering.
Shit, wrong video.
K, so let's chalk up the sports that are actually in this:

Basketball has 2 hoops you dumb pile of crap. This "sport" is for young adults that live in their parents basement.

THANK you! Finally some positive comments! I was thinking that I'd NEVER get the trolls out of the dungeon.
Will Man Its not a fucking sport
Nice ^^ Hopefully someday you guys can play in the air and enjoy the game more :)
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
At first, I thought this was a little ridiculous, but after watching a few videos, this actually looks really fun. It's kind of a brutal sport, and the human snitch is way too awesome.
Why not just use a drone for the snitch....
+raggedy-smith My thoughts exactly! Not necessarily one of those big ol' lawnmower sized ones, but one of those Wal-Mart, kids-safe mini-choppers with some decent speed and maneuverability that can carry a yellow Golfball with little plastic wings. Then there's someone who controls it that has a few rules himself. (like don't raise it 20' in the air, no one will ever get it) I love the Drone idea.
To expensive Maybe?
***** That's not remotely true, but alright.
no matter how cheap and so called "safe" the drone is, a drone will always be dangerous if its blades or itself comes into contact with a human.
I would LOVE to play that!!! It's silly but must be a lot of fun!!
+Winky W I agree! It looks silly but fun!
It looks great imo, and I'm not a big HP fan. It is rough, physical, is played one-handed, has some unusual rules, and looks fun to play !

I wonder what are the real limits to what a Snitch can do to get away from the Seekers though… Too bad they're not able to fly (yet?)
i really need to do it because it looks cool and i really like magic and wizards and good witches
Lmao...the snitch is the best part of that! That's so inventive and funny!
I want to at least play one Quidditch game before I die.
trying out for a Beater next year,wish me luck
thanks. i was planning to start a quidditch team with my friends, but i didn't know how to play.
THIS SOUNDS SO AWESOME. I want to play it, but I think that we don't have any quidditch teams or groups or anything here in Finland. :c
There is a Finnish National Team
working on making a flying broom sticks
Im crying my eyes out becuse we cant fly. It would have been sick. Somebody needs to make a real flying broom within ten years.
YESSSSSS!!!!! AMEN
Then this sport would be the most brutal sport ever because there would be a lot of injuires and a risk of death.But it would be awesome I agree
Batuhan Bartın Nah, mate. Not that dangerous. Stay on your broom and you will be fine. Then theres the bludger and all the ex slytherins
Alexander Roselius Lol ugh.. let's hope it will happen and then we debate about it :) wish it was real :(
Alexander Roselius Well if you're not a muggle, just go to Diagon Alley and buy one. They can be rather expensive though.

They do.

I have to say, this 7 minute guide was quite a bit better than the supposed Quidditch documentary, "Mudbloods". Went to see that the other night and actually left halfway through it was so boring! At least the people interviewed in this seemed realistic and enthusiastic. I suppose I was just annoyed by the people in the movie versus the production value. It's also quite disappointing the number of folks who disparage a video like this; yes, the sport is quite goofy looking, but unless you've tried it yourself maybe you shouldn't be so harsh. I'm also curious as to why some people think words like "Gay" or "Nerdy" or "Dorky" are derogatory.
Why is this not played on bicycles?
dustin gemmell Omg so true but it would be much harder, more dangerous, and we can't perform any healing spells nor do we have any Skele-grow!
me and my friends used to play on bikes. And quidditch is supposed to be a dangerous sport=-p
@LanceBennison
I think it's supposed to make running and catching harder?
If you didn't know it's real. And it's a big deal.
why isn't the field oval?
It was, then turned rectangular recently for ease of set up.
At first it looked ridiculous, but when you learn the rules, it actually could be interesting to watch or play this game. It has a lot of different mechanics, that could have interesting combinations when put together.
What I also enjoy since the game is still developing, there is huge a room for exploring and trying different tactics. You won't have this in any big sport, where everything is already explored and calculated.
start from the books now we GO PROOO
I propose to design a robotic snitch wich could move in autonomous form through de camp bouncing and roling.
Looking forward to your prototype!
What's the string music in the background of the beginning of the video? It's great!
My sister was wondering what the heck is Quidditch so I sent her this
We played this at school today, and it was really fun! It would be every more fun if you didn't use broomsticks.
is there anyway to have it so we can play a game of it but with hardly any risk as i want my friends at mencap to experience the fun of it but health and safety makes it so we have to change rules of games
Feel free to modify the rules as the situation calls. We're excited to see people playing, however modified it is!
are they required to always hold their stick?
Michael Nielsen Players are required to be mounted on their brooms at all times. If the player dismounts while in play, the player must run back to their hoops, touch them, and re-mount his or her broom before re-entering play. (See p.77 of Rulebook 9 (www.usquidditch.org/about/rules/).) Having to be mounted on a broom is like having to dribble in basketball, or not being able to use your hands in soccer. It adds a bit of difficulty.

Crow the mad could be a sport that could be adapted to paraplegics... your wheelchair is your broom and all...
Wheelchair Quidditch Australia may have some tips about starting out!
I am going to start a team
I wonder how I can get my school to start a Quidditch team.
Find a group of friends to play with
Is it weird, I just want to be the "Snitch"??
I think if they dropped the brooms, this could really be a sport.
True, but that would deny the guy playing the snitch one of the key advantages that makes them hard to catch.
With the brooms its a sport. People get injured, there's strategy, it takes some level of athleticism to be a good player, like this game is so fast paced, it is hard as fuck to throw a ball in a hoop when you have to deal with your broom between your legs(so often scoring and passing the ball one handed), while avoiding bludgers(the dodgeballs players get pelted with) and getting past the other teams' Keeper. Very difficult, very fun.
Khalil Sulker And it would just be Basketball if it was just people trying to throw balls through hoops.
They should have to hold another tennis ball instead- so if they drop it the goal doesn’t count and you have the skill of having to do things one handed remain.
@@Fan4club Doesn't the broomstick accomplish this task?
Nerds! Lol LOVE it!
Now THAT is Harry Potter fans. Wonder if there's a Quidditch team in Denmark...?
There are teams in Denmark
what does dismount mean?...lose the stick from our hands or from between our legs???
'no rules other than don't break any federal rules' sounds awesome!
if it wasn't the brooms, i'd think it's a professional game.
It is a semi-pro game. Look up "Major League Quidditch."
Thought it was 250... but I guess 30 is more reasonable
This seems so dangerous, the snitch is throwing people around, if ever i were to play this i would be a chaser, no doubt.
Kristian Valen when the snitch arrives on pitch, it indeed becomes a 'clusterfuck'. Chasers don't have to worry, but beaters and seekers do (I'm a beater for my college team)
Can a beater target an opposition beater to gain bluffer control and put that beater monentarily out of a game.
Most of the comments were long ago. But I'm also against the use of those FAKE broomsticks.
Let's see it this way:

cool
This makes me wish i could go back to college
What is it that they're substituting from brooms here? Like PVC pipe or what?
Yes, something like pvc pipes... But, if isn't, use that it's a good idea :D
Some use real modern muggle brooms. Some use pool noodles (foam). It IS a rough sport!
some official games make the PVC pipe 'brooms' nessacary cause the normal brooms cause injuries, which doesn't make sense to me since its full contact, but i do love to play
Riley Gardner we usually don't use the real brooms until regionals or World Cup.
we use real brooms at practice, and not at tournaments, they think we are more likely to hurt ourselves
It seems like the game is all about catching the snitch. Nothing else matters because it is a clear win to catch him.
Michael Nielsen well the snitch is only worth 30 points in this version so the goal is to catch it when your team is ahead, just catching it won't win you the game
Could always search them. If there aren't make one
So state laws are ok?
I'm not a muggle i just want to see muggles play
Can please somebody tell me the name of the song in the beginning?
It's cool they made a fake sport and have made it a actual sport that people play
I want to be a beater
Same
I'm sure that someone out there can build a smallish spherical flying object, remote controlled...so why not do that and replace the current concept of the snitch?
Until someone builds it, we have to stick to what we have. Looking forward to your prototype!
I've read the books, I know how to play Quidditch!
So,
what if the snitch person is biased and purposefully gets caught by a certain team?
They likely won't snitch too many more official games
I miss bullying..
😝
what is the music?
Bludgers knock people off--There are 2 Bludgers .
If You Score with a Quaffle, you get 10 points each shot.
If You Get the Golden Snitch, you earn 150 extra points, and the game ends, in which there is no time limit.
snitch is 30 points in muggle quidditch :)
5:11 that guy dont give a shit....... he's gonna throw her as far as possible..
I'm assuming cups are mandatory for this game.
When I first started playing, I wore one though it got in the way of the broom and I stopped wearing it shortly afterwards.
Saw this on Stack. If anyone is interested in learning more about the x's and o's of the game, check out From The Keeper Zone dot com.

This would be a great way to make more Potterhead friends. I don't have any😭
Wouldn’t you get jabbed in the nuts or eyes all the time by the pointy end of the broomstick? If you must have them, why not make them out of foam
Apparently not. These days, they use PVC pipe for brooms. It's cheap and durable.
I can totally see someone losing an eye one day playing this game.
What's to stop the snitch person from cheating
***** chose540 The problem is most refs in Quidditch are child molesters, so refs won't snitch for fear that snitching on the snitch will make the snitch snitch.
oh man harry potter *did* take over the world
Needs to be a professional quidditch league. Just sayin.
We have them! See Major League Quidditch and Quidditch Premier League
i wanna be the snitch
The onl thing I don't get is the stick between their leggs..
It's because in the books they play on brooms. Having the broom makes the game a bit more challenging as you only have one hand available. BTW, I need to start a team.
I like to think it's because at some point in the near future they will be using flying or hoover vehicles. The stick just helps them prepare for the eventuality ;P
hehe I've done my own version of quidditch without broomsticks and it feelt like it worked much better. At least if you think about safety. It was a great succes at the school I've worked on
But yeah would be cool with flying/hover vehicles. But I guess it wouldn't be allowed cause of safety reasons. "Aresto momentum", isn't exacly something u can do in real life to falling players.
they do it so that there's only one hand available. I think it would be easier if they just put the other hand behind their back, though
Between potterheads... we can say THE QUIDDITCH IS THE BETTER SPORTS IN THE WORLD !
Thank you very much
Good evening
I don't like how you can score from either side of the hoop. Pretty sure Wizard Quidditch is not like that. If you want to get it as close as you can to the actual game, then this should be one thing that ought to be.
the wizard quidditch in Harry Potter lets you score from behind.
Quidditch seems a lot less enjoyable when played on the ground. It would be quite interesting to commentate muggle Quidditch though.
3:29 Why are there 3 bludgers? The books only have 2.
This way each team would have possession of at least one bludger. If there were only 2 bludgers, one team could monopolize both.
I can understand that reasoning. However would that really be such a big deal that it is necessary to add an extra ball that isn't technically supposed to be there? Did the game originally have only two bludgers which caused the problem of monolization so it was decided that a third one should be added or have there always been three?
In the earliest days of muggle quidditch, they had 2 bludgers. They quickly realized that they needed three.
Also, a snitch snatch was originally 50 points (as opposed to 150 in the books). It was reduced to 30 points early on, and has stayed at 30 ever since. Some things you only find out after actually playing the game.
ThreeIdiotsInaVan Ok thanks!
Have the SuperCarlinBrothers seen this?!?!?
Loose the sticks and it might be interesting.
Mark Sanford that’s the point though. A disadvantage
I want the quidditch stage in super smash bros ultimate

So there are actually 9 people total: 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters, 2 Seekers, 1 Keeper, 1 Snitch...
